The correct answer is letter "B": Inside sales.

Explanation:

When sales are performed due to calls placed by representatives who reached customers by phone it is called inside sales. Over the phone, sales representatives are proactive employees who contact potential consumers. This type of sale is not only limited to the phone since it could be carried out through e-mails, though it is not very common.
